You can put a “non-breaking-space” before your words the code is
It would help us help you if you included a link to your website, and specific examples of what you want.
If it is in special places like start of paragraph, then there is CSS code that can do this. (A left margin on first line)
Certainly NEVER change WordPress core code, this is just good practice.
However customising your theme is easy and safe,
start with creating a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Hi Thanks. I did use those (spaces obviously not shown in yours or my post.) several times but that is a bit much if you want an indent. The website http://www.bestepeople.com.
You can see the link at the bottom Our Website Explained with the indent. It took a lot of spaces which is silly really. There has to be an easier way.
There has to be an easier way.
There is. Use an unordered list. I just browser edited your page, removed all the spaces and created an unordered list like this:
<ul>
<li><strong>Home </strong> – Home Page</li>
<li><strong>About Us</strong> – Information about us and Testimonials</li>
<li><strong>Communication</strong> – Anything to do with communication</li>
<li><strong>Workplace </strong>– Anything to do with the workplace</li>
<li><strong>Self-Reflections</strong> – Personal thoughts about self and observations</li>
<li><strong>The World</strong> – Items on Sport, Justice, Media, etc. More main topics to come</li>
<li><strong>Contact </strong>– Send us information or topics you believe will add value</li>
</ul>
The result looks like this:

Hi – Thanks but neither came out as yours did. I tried the code above and the code in the email.
What I am trying to create is this:
The Main Menus At The Top:
Home – Home Page
About Us – Information about us and Testimonials
Communication – Anything to do with communication
Workplace – Anything to do with the workplace
Self-Reflections – Personal thoughts about self and observations
The World – Items on Sport, Justice, Media, etc. More main topics to come
Contact – Send us information or topics you believe will add value

Is this possible?
At the moment I am using this which is really silly:

Can you try it again but leave that code that Dave recommended, so that we can see the issue with the correct structure?
Unfortunately it doesn’t show the format as input.
I’ll say it in words:
indent item space – space item
That is each item is indented and in alignment on the left and the statement to the right is also in alignment from the left.

Okay, so really you should use CSS to do this. I think we just didn’t understand what you wanted to do.
So, try this structure instead:
<ul>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>Home </strong></span><span>– Home Page</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>About Us</strong></span><span> – Information about us and Testimonials</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>Communication</strong></span><span> – Anything to do with communication</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>Workplace </strong></span><span>– Anything to do with the workplace</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>Self-Reflections</strong></span><span>– Personal thoughts about self and observations</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>The World</strong></span><span>– Items on Sport, Justice, Media, etc. More main topics to come</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="list--left"><strong>Contact </strong></span><span>– Send us information or topics you believe will add value</span>
</li>
</ul>
Then you can use CSS to give the “list–left” <span> element a width:
.list--left {
display: inline-block;
width: 300px;
}
Thanks for your efforts. It is my bedtime but I have put up the code as in the email and above. Neither is correct. There is no point in doing anything that takes longer than putting in the spaces as stated above. I’ll leave the code in until morning so you can see. Do appreciate your efforts.

No no, put the code into your “text” editor, not the visual.

Hang on, you copied all of my code including the CSS and put it into the Visual tab.

You know, I’m sure StudioPress have a better solution for you, but you came to this forum where we have no access to your theme, we don’t actually support it, and we tried to give you a solution.
I know you appreciate our efforts, but maybe you need to contact StudioPress about support for their themes. It sounds like their solution would be better for everyone here.
